@plainoldme,
The Grand Budapest Hotel. I could not make no sense of it, and I did not think that it was funny.

I liked The Budapest Hotel. It is a Wes Andersen film and that wraps it up. He's not your average director but then again, neither was Robert Altman, or is Jim Jarmusch. His films are difficult but he is one of those directors who bring out unexpected things -- in a positive sense -- in his casts.

@Lordyaswas,
Your comment made me smile. I don't know you well, but, when you said it was your sort of humor, I said, "yep.'

The humor, er, humour, has a very British feel to it. Ralph Fiennes' roll was a revelation. He is funny.

Jon Favreau directed and starred in a very mouth watering and very charming character piece. Quite funny and down to earth.

Even Oliver Platt's restaurant critic was a fully three dimensional human rather then a one dimensional villain.


What was the name of the movie?

@FBM,
Just got back from seeing "Inherent Vice",,,,,,the Washington Post Critic gave it raves and 4 stars. Several people walked out during the show. I still don't what it was really about, I should have read the book. The critic said Hollywood wasn't really sure how to present the story, to which I say "duh". I enjoyed the performances, lots of well known actors, lots of talent but I don't know what the story was. However, I really enjoy Joaquin Phoenix, so his performance was worth the price of the tickets.

Well, to start with, the combination of Morgan Freeman and Robert Redford is hard to pass up. Jennifer Lopez also plays a main character and does a great job, but I'm not that much into her. She's Robert Redford's widowed daughter-in-law and Morgan Freeman is RR's ranch hand. RR holds JLo's character responsible for his son's death. A lot of tension going on, and I don't want to spoil it. It's not one of the all-time greats, but I didn't regret the experience.

I watched a film from 2006 called The Duchess with Ralph Fiennes as the male lead. The film is sort of soft core costume drama porn based on real people. As the film has a mix of flaws and some really strong points, I looked it up. Fiennes received critical applause but the role was difficult. The man in question was stupid, passive aggressive and narrow minded. That's a difficult task. I liked him better in Best Budapest Hotel.

I mentioned Birdman a while back, a few days ago the paper reported the film had received several Golden Globe nominations and I think also nominations from the actors guild. I feel so much better, I didn't anyone but mr. glitterbag & I had seen the film.


I finally got ahold of the film and watched it. Damn. Best movie I've seen in a very long time. Thanks for the heads-up.

@FBM,
Ed Norton was incredible in the part. He and Emma Stone need Oscar recognition. They're two of the best supporting roles I've seen for 2014.
